Hey everybody, Tivis here, whats goin on? We got a new wheel company at Hot Spot called Kontrol Wheels and one of the best parts is they are stright out of the old US of A and they are unlike any other U.S. made product in the fact that they are cheaper than other wheels and are produced with less waste. In the new shipment they sent two sets for some shredders to try out and I was one of the

Hey all, the Hot Spot would like to thank the Coon Rapids Youth First Staff for inviting us to co-sponsor Skate Jam 2008, TPC/Drez, Scott Kelley, Hot Spot Staff, Sneaker the Kid, Rob Moretto, the girls baseball team for the food, and all of the participants and spectators for another great Skate Jam!! Here is a pic from about 2 hours before the Skate Jam started. We had some early arrivals that

I skated the new Darkstar Lightning Cores for 2 to 3 weeks to test them out. For being black and 96A (not white and hard) they were extremely smooth. I recieved no flat spots, chips, or dings out of the wheel. They were nice at creek because the ground is so rough and the softer wheel made up for the bumps but still kept it's inner hardness to be able to tail slide and blunt slide on boxes. Great

I guess so. Been pretty busy skating and fishing this week because of the great weather. A day in the life coming soon, but in the meantime watch Bob, Ryan and myself skate the Champlin park.

Hello everyone. I just thought I'd get you up on a couple things we have planned out for this Summer. Skate Jam 2008 - Saturday July 12th - 10am eS Autograph signing - Saturday August 9th - 5pm 20 Year Anniversary Party - in the works, stay tuned.

Schools getting out just in time for it to warm up. Get out there and go skate. Sorry about the lack of posts. A day in the life coming soon. For now here's Matt Parker and I having some troubles.

Skateboarding season is a 365 day per year season for us. So when Chet Thomas himself sent a new Darkstar wheel to the Hot Spot to test, we figured Kirk was the man. Stay tuned for his review.

We have taken down the Skate Club web site due to lack of use. The content has been migrated here. Also, there are no more trips planned for May. We will be updating this site with the schedule for June during the next 2-3 weeks. The June locations will be outdoor skateparks that will cause the cost of each trip to be lower, but travel time a bit higher.

Thanks to Kirk Knoll, Bobby Atchison, Alex Tivis, Matt Parker, Dillon Rider, T.M. Dustin Goad, and Alternate 1 Tanner Chergosky for a great representation at Top Shop. They hauled in a 17th place finish and made us proud! Thanks to all the Hot Spot heads in the crowd cheering us on when they called our name and thanks to 3rd Lair, TumYeto, Deluxe, Bones and all the other sponsors for a fun event!

Please make sure all members are informed of the dates of the upcoming skate club. The more skaters we have on the bus, the more cost effective it is for us to continue doing the trips. So far in 2008 the rising cost of gas and lower member turn-out has caused us to come up short each week. We have elected not to pass a price increase on to our skate club members. Up until now the Hot Spot has

I'm sorry this took so long, I've been waiting days for the video to upload... this is from last weekend. Allot of this snow has melted.. Ryan Mahowald brought a box up to creek and made one of the best setups at sand creek that I've seen. I've never had so much fun in the mini.

A lot of people made it out to sand creek this weekend to shred. Half the park was dry and a lot of people got to skate it, but if you looked outside today you'd see we're back to square one.... but here's a video to tide ya over until we can skate it again. I'll have the new mini video up in a couple of days so check back.

Not too much happening this weekend. Snows melting a little quicker, that much closer to summer. The mini at creek was dry Saturday evening I didn't skate it but i know Nate Estrada and Tanner Chergosky cleared it off and skated it with Alex Tivis for a while. Lair Monday Wednesday and Thursday. New mini video probably next week. Creek this weekend? Check back for more posts.

Just a shot of Nate Estrada from December 2007 and his trip to California. Check his myspace for more pics and a animated gif of him hitting the rail. I like the axe he's wielding.
